Save My Sister Devi From Cancer!

At age 32, my sister Sudhandhra Devi has been diagnosed with blood cancer (Acute Myeloid) on 17th May 2017 and is now fighting the battle of her life. Receiving a cancer diagnosis is devastating emotionally and financial burden of surviving a cancer is truly challenging.

We are a middle class family who make our living with our monthly salaries. We lost our mother about a year and a half back, my father is a retired clerk from Punjab National Bank, my youngest sister works with the State Bank Of India in a clerical position. With that said, the road ahead over the next few months will definitely be a challenge. At this stage raising Rs. 10-15 lakhs for her treatment is not something we alone can really manage. While we are pulling in our savings, it will only cover 25% of the estimated costs. The medical bills are already coming in and will continue to add up. The treatment plan will include frequent blood transfusions, chemo, surgery and medications which will be determined based on findings during tests and treatments early next week. Devi will undergo treatment almost immediately to deal with the cancer. Every donation is greatly appreciated and will be a huge help to her over the next few months. Unanticipated costs that will come along during this battle. If at the end of her treatment there is surplus money, all funds will be donated to help other people in their fight against cancer.

Thank you for reading and considering Devi’s hard road ahead. We will really appreciate any donation no matter the size. Every donation helps, and if you cannot donate, please share this story and please pray. We often dont know the reasons why things happen and are hard to understand but with faith and prayer we know that miracles happen. Your prayers are going to give us the strength to defeat her cancer.

Devi was admitted at the hospital on 27th July for her 3rd chemo. The chemo started on 28th July and concluded on 2nd August'17. She will continue to be at the hospital under observation for the next 2-3 weeks time.

I thank each one of you for your contributions and prayers, without which we would not have come this far. Doctors have told us that she will not need a Bone Marrow Transplant and should be fine with the 4th chemo.

Thank you for giving us a helping hand when we needed it the most. I would still request you to keep us in your prayers. It is your prayers that is going to give us the strength to get us back to normalcy.
